BBC World Service - Newsday, Ayman al-Zawahiri: Al-Qaeda leader killed in US drone strike

Drone strike was carried out by the CIA in the Afghan capital Kabul

President Joe Biden said Zawahiri had "carved a trail of murder and violence against American citizens…Now justice has been delivered”

The US Secretary of State, Antony Blinken, has said that by hosting and sheltering Ayman al-Zawahiri in Kabul, the Taliban had grossly violated the agreement they signed with Washington which led to the withdrawal of American forces from Afghanistan last year.

Taiwan media say the US House Speaker, Nancy Pelosi, plans to visit the island today. There's been no official confirmation from Ms Pelosi but the White House has warned that China may respond to Ms Pelosi's mooted visit with military provocations.
